I wanted to rip your heart out
And eat it like it were a fruit
Just so you could die
Like you made me want to.
I thought I loved you
At one point, maybe twice
But it was really just hate
That started at a small height.
I gave you everything
Bent over backwards, upside down
I served my heart in place of yours
But my love you never found.
Your perception was twisted
You wanted to tear me apart
Said I was the lusted, the wanted
But you were wrong from the start.
I was weak, you were right
And from you I learned so much
That I can't let people walk on me
Least of all let them touch--
My heart.
You see I took it back from you
And threw the truth in your face
Even after all we had been through
You placed me as a disgrace.
I let you down but in reality
You let ME down
And I had to figure **** out
After you left me with a frown.
Stabbed me in the back countless times
Asked me for money and favors
And I wrote out all your rhymes
For you poetic labors.
It was all my hard work
Thrown down the drain
But I let you go
And inevitably you went insane.
Because I set my rage free
And you clung to it for years
I know it held you back
Causing many of your tears.
And still I never wanted to hurt you
I just wanted you to see
That you couldn't treat anyone like that
Least of all me.
So maybe I was your wake up call
Or at least I planted the seed
Someone else can water it
But I suppose you've become a ****
I've heard things 'round the bend
That you've finally been seen for what you were
I always knew that side of you
But I was friends with something else, what it was, I'm not sure.
And once I learned
And grew up
I traveled on
And threw you out of my cup.
And that cup I filled
Not with anything of you
But everything of me
And all I had been that was true.
And now here I am
Doing fine without you
But I don't regret any of it
Because it was part of everything I had to go through.
Thank you.
